hey guys what do you think it is? today i recieved a special order to do a little body repair(damaged fender). the client claims that the car never had been in the accident but once. but that’s what i found while sanding.
as i understand, there are 4 layers of paint on it. the bumper color is also a little bit different. so i think they sell repaired cars like brand-new or what?
so what’s it?
the car is hyundai santa fe
here’s the matterand after little hammer work and sanding
And just a little update) the work’s done
sick photo it seems that the fender is not clear but it’s because the snow reflection
I’d say its one of 3 things…
-fender has been painted several different times
-fender was done once, but shop f***** up and redid it before it was sent to the customer
-factory f*** up. Sometimes they will have a few layers from the factory when there is an issue (such as colour mismatch) haven’t seen it on a Korean car before, though.Often brand new cars get damaged in transit from the factory to the dealership. Minor repairs are made and in most cases, the person who buys the car may never know.
very true. i worked for a shop that did work for land rover and bmw. i couldnt count all the brand new cars we did for them that were then sold as new cars. and im talking about cars fresh off the boat with the side wiped out not just minor work
I have a ’12 Kia Sorento at my shop now that has had the drivers side painted. Original owner said he wasent aware.
Did some work for guy that once owned and Lamborghini dealer said every car that came from factory had to have atleast 3 panels repaint from transport.
Repairing brand new delivery miles cars is reasonably regular occurrence for us, just did a Suzuki Sx4 about a week ago, roof damage, front screen had to come out, roof cloth roof bars etc
Couple of months ago there was a brand new Mitsubishi 3k worth of damage, they totaled that one at the dealerships request.
